How to Convert PDF Invoices or Purchase Orders to Excel, JSON or XML
PDF documents are a common way to receive invoices or purchase orders from suppliers and customers. However, they can be difficult to manage and analyze, especially if you receive many documents in a short period of time.
One way to make PDF invoices or purchase orders easier to manage is to convert them to a more easily readable and parsable format, such as Excel. This can be done manually, using conversion software or an OCR service.
Manual conversion
Manual conversion is the simplest method, but it can also be the most time-consuming. To manually convert a PDF invoice to Excel, you need to open the invoice in a PDF editor, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, and then copy the contents into an Excel spreadsheet.
This method can be problematic if the invoice is complexly formatted or contains images or other non-text elements.
Conversion with generic software
There are several conversion software available that can be used to convert PDF invoices to Excel, JSON or XML. These software are generally faster than manual conversion and can support more complex PDF invoice formats.
It should be noted that most of these software are not suitable for untrained personnel, and require a training period before being used properly. Furthermore, most of these software have limitations (such as reading documents only in high quality or only with standard formats) that make them usable only for a part of the company documents.
